A&D Engineering and Product Development Software

ANSYS helps aerospace and defense product development companies meet their key business initiatives through simulation driven aerospace engineering design and drives innovation through the exploration of a wider range of product design options.

Leading companies around the globe leverage the power of ANSYS aerospace design software to meet the challenges of improving fuel efficiency, reducing environmental impact and to satisfy customer demands for safety, reliability, faster time to market and design for affordability.

ANSYS aerospace design software covers the full spectrum of aerospace and defense product development, ranging from applications that include aerodynamics, aerostructures, propulsion systems, electronics, on board systems, control and display software to space systems, hypersonics and survivability.

Segments

Aircraft

The upward price of jet fuel and the desire to reduce its environmental impact are driving the entire commercial aircraft supply chain to aggressively improve fuel efficiency and reduce the lifecycle cost of ownership.

Defense

Because of its incredible depth and breadth, ANSYS engineering simulation technology plays a crucial role in the defense industry, especially as major organizations improve design process efficiency and leverage model-based systems engineering in the drive for affordability.

Electronics

The more-electronic aircraft initiative expects to significantly reduce weight and improve fuel efficiency. There are two key components: reducing the size, weight, power and cooling (SWAP-C) requirements of electronic systems and replacing traditional systems with their electronic equivalents.

Space

Because of space’s unforgiving environment, product design must be right the first time. ANSYS' engineering simulation technology ensures product reliability at established and emerging government and commercial space technology organizations.

Design for Affordability

Simulation-based engineering has proven beneficial in reducing product development time and cost as well as building in higher quality and more innovation. However, in this era of fiscal scrutiny, merely using simulation tools is not sufficient to meet affordability targets.
